Diesels demonstrate Kia's world-class engineering

At the 2010 Geneva Show and making its premiere in the new Sportage, is a
2.0-litre version of Kia's next-generation 'R' family diesel. All-new, the 'R'
family diesel engine first appeared in 2.2-litre, 197 ps form, in the new Kia
Sorento confirming that Kia's engineering capabilities are indeed world-class.

The R2.0, which is expected to prove the most popular engine choice with new
Kia Sportage buyers in many European countries, generates a maximum of 136 ps
and 304 Nm of torque from just 1,800 rpm. As well as guaranteeing strong
performance, the new diesel enables the Kia's compact SUV to deliver
highly-competitive fuel economy and emissions figures.

Later this year, a new 1.7-litre version of Kia's 'U2' diesel will become
available. Designed and engineered at Kia's R&D Centre in Germany, this 115 ps
engine meets Euro 5 emissions regulations and is cleaner, quieter and more
fuel-efficient than previous U2 engines. It has been developed for optimum
driveability, with more than 90 per cent of the maximum torque available from
just 2,000 rpm.
